Sedimentary Rocks

Sedimentary rocks are produced from the weathering of preexisting rocks or biological matter.

• Detrital: Rocks produced from rock fragments.
• Chemical: Rocks produced by the precipitation of dissolved ions in water.
• Organic: Rocks produced by the accumulation of biological debris.

Sediments: Loose, solid particles originating from the weathering and erosion of preexisting rocks.

Deposition: The settling and coming to rest of transported materials and the accumulation of chemical or organic sediments, typically in water.

Lithification: The general term for processes converting loose sediments into sedimentary rock.

• Breccia: Coarse-grained clastic sedimentary rocks.
• Sandstone: Medium-grained clastic sedimentary rock.
• Shale: Fine-grained

Article 166: Employer Safety Obligations

Article 166

The employer undertakes to provide the measures of occupational safety and health at the workplaces in such a way as to ensure prevention from work hazards. These hazards include:

• Mechanical hazards: These can arise as a result of a collision or contact between the worker’s body and a solid object, such as construction, building, and excavation hazards, collapse and fall hazards, and hazards arising from devices, machines, and transportation and handling means.
• Chemical hazards: Risks arising from handling solid, liquid, or gas chemical substances that can arise from the leakage of any substances into the working environment.
• Natural hazards: Factors affecting the worker’s safety and health

Part One. This Hard Land

In the first part of the book, De León discusses the steps that were taken to result in the system, 'Prevention Through Deterrence,' that is in place today to prevent migrants from coming into America. He also expands upon the ideas of the hybrid collectif and 'Prevention Through Deterrence' by arguing that the United States deliberately funnels migrants through the Sonoran Desert so that various human and nonhuman actants do the 'brutal work' for Border Patrol. He also uses the phrase bare life to describe those that have died and their death means nothing. This phrase is used to describe many migrants who lost their lives while attempting to cross. De León notes how there are very few posters set up in Mexico that... Continue reading "Unveiling the Truth: Migrant Journeys and Border Realities" »

Irregular Verb Conjugations

Asexual Reproduction in Plants

Asexual reproduction is the process through which an organism produces other organisms without the participation of more than one parent.

Methods of Asexual Reproduction

Runner or Stolon

Runners or stolons can produce buds that develop into new plants that are clones.

Fragmentation

Fragmentation occurs when a small part of the plant falls off onto the soil and begins to grow into a new plant.

Budding

Each bud will grow like a clone of the original plant that produced it, such as a potato.

Gemmation

Gemmae are shed and dispersed to other areas, where they grow to produce new individuals.

Vegetative Propagation

Vegetative propagation happens when someone takes a part of the plant and replants it in another place.

Types of Data

Population and Sample

When dealing with large datasets, it's often impractical to analyze every single data point. In such instances, we collect data from a subset of the population known as a sample.

Quantitative and Categorical Data

Quantitative data represent numerical values and allow for arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Examples include height, weight, and temperature.

Categorical data represent categories or groups and cannot be manipulated with arithmetic operations. Examples include gender, hair color, and country of origin. We can summarize categorical data by counting the number of observations or computing the proportions of observations in each category.

Cross-Sectional and

Selecting Samples

A simple random sample of size n from a finite population of size N is a sample selected such that each possible sample of size n has the same probability of being selected.

A random sample of size n from an infinite population is a sample selected such that the following conditions are satisfied.

Point Estimation

By making the preceding computations, we perform the statistical procedure called point estimation. We refer to the sample mean x as the point estimator of the population mean m, the sample standard deviation s as the point estimator of the population standard deviation s, and the sample proportion p as the point estimator of the population proportion p. The numerical value obtained for x, s, or p is called the point... Continue reading "Understanding Sampling, Estimation, and Hypothesis Testing in Statistics" »
